Emociones y cultura árabe

Cristina Casado Lumbreras

Resumen

En el presente artículo hemos tratado de sintetizar el escaso conocimiento que poseemos en Psicología sobre la concepción de las emociones en el mundo árabe. La importancia de la cultura árabe en el mundo, la relevancia e influencia de la religión musulmana con más de 250 millones de fi eles en todo el planeta, y la existencia de una referencia lingüística universal, la convierten en una de las culturas más importantes e influyentes. Asimismo, España se ha convertido en los últimos años en un receptor de población inmigrante procedente de diversos países y regiones árabes que conviven con nosotros. Un conocimiento psicológico, psicosocial y emocional de mayor calado proporcionaría una visión más cercana y fi el de una cultura cuyo conocimiento se nos presenta imprescindible. A nuestro juicio, el escaso conocimiento que poseemos sobre la cultura árabe en Psicología de la emoción se podría condensar en dos conceptos: vergüenza y honor. No obstante, trataremos de completar la descripción a través del concepto de emoción en árabe y de un apunte sobre el concepto de tristeza en dicha lengua.
